INTRODUCTION
County Health Status Profiles has been published annually for the State of California since
1993. This report presents public health data that can be directly compared with clearly
established benchmarks, such as national standards, and populations of similar
composition. Appendix A (page 90) provides a summary table of Californias
rates/percentages for selected health indicators, the target rates established for Healthy
People 2010 (HP 2010) National Objectives, and the U.S. rates, where available.
In keeping with the goal of using national standards, mortality causes of death data were
coded using the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) and
age-adjusted rates were calculated using the 2000 Standard Population. Please note that
some of the HP 2010 Objective target rates were changed beginning with the 2006 Profiles
publication in accordance with midcourse review recommendations. For additional
information on the HP 2010 recommendations, visit the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) online at http://wonder.cdc.gov/data2010/obj.htm.
This report contains vital statistics and morbidity tables that show the population, number of
events, crude rates, and age-adjusted death rates (when applicable) or percentages by
county of residence (except where noted). Also shown on these tables are the upper and
lower 95 percent confidence limits, which provide a means for assessing the degree of
stability of the estimated rates and percentages. Vital statistics rates and percentages are
subject to random variation, which is inversely related to the number of events
(e.g., deaths) used to calculate the rates and percentages. Therefore, standard errors and
relative standard errors (coefficients of variation) are calculated to measure the reliability of
the rates and percentages. Estimated rates and percentages that are categorized as
unreliable (relative standard error t 23 percent) are marked on these tables with an asterisk
(*). Rates, percentages, and confidence limits not calculated for zero events are shown as
dashes (-).
Counties are ranked by rates or percentages based on the methodology described in the
Technical Notes section (pages 80 to 89). Data limitations and qualifications are provided
in the Technical Notes to assist the reader with interpretation and comparison of these data
among the counties. For those who may want to learn more about the problems
associated with analysis of vital events involving small numbers, small area analysis, and
age-adjusted death rates, references to relevant statistical publications are located
in the bibliography.
Thematic maps of Californias 58 counties provide added visual comparison of rates or
percentages from each table (excluding Table 30) along with the customary health status
indicator highlights.
Appendix A in the past compared California to the U.S. rates. Californias Health Status
Profile 2010 replaces this table, which is similar to the county summary tables located at
http://www.cdph.ca.gov/programs/ohir/Pages/CHSPCountySheets.aspx.
County Health Status Profiles 2010
The following California Department of Public Health (CDPH) offices provided data for this
report: Center for Health Statistics, Communicable Disease Control, Genetic Disease
Screening Program, Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health Program, and the Office of
AIDS. In addition, the Demographic Research Unit of the California Department of
Finance (DOF) provided 2007 race/ethnicity population estimates by county with age and
sex detail. Estimates of persons under age 18 in poverty in 2007 are from the U.S. Census
Bureau (http://www.census.gov//did/www/saipe/).

he crude death rate from all causes for California was 620.6 deaths per 100,000
population, a risk of dying equivalent to approximately one death for every 161
persons. This rate was based on a 2006 through 2008 three-year average
number of deaths equaling 234,663.7 and population count of 37,810,582 as of
July 1, 2007. Among counties with reliable rates, the crude rate ranged from 1,203.0 in
Lake County to 245.5 in Mono County, a factor of 4.9 to 1.
The age-adjusted death rate from all causes for California during the 2006 through 2008
three-year period was 666.4 deaths per 100,000 population. Reliable age-adjusted
death rates ranged from 932.6 in Humboldt County to 270.7 in Mono County.
A Healthy People 2010 National Objective for deaths due to all causes has not been
established.

Data Source:
he crude death rate from all cancers for California was 144.2 deaths per 100,000
population, a risk of dying equivalent to approximately one death for every 694
July 1, 2007. Among counties with reliable rates, the crude rate ranged from 279.1 in
Trinity County to 91.3 in Lassen County, a factor of 3.1 to 1.
The age-adjusted death rate from all cancers for California during the 2006 through
2008 three-year period was 155.9 deaths per 100,000 population.
Reliable
age-adjusted death rates ranged from 200.1 in Del Norte County to 106.3 in
Lassen County.
Thirty counties with reliable age-adjusted death rates and California as a whole met the
Healthy People 2010 National Objective 3-1 of no more than 158.6 age-adjusted deaths
due to all cancers per 100,000 population. An additional three counties with unreliable
rates met the objective.

DEATHS DUE TO COLORECTAL CANCER, 2006-2008
HP 2010 Target: 13.7


Within 13.8 to 14.7
Greater than 14.7
Data Source:
he crude death rate from colorectal cancer for California was 13.6 deaths per
100,000 population, a risk of dying equivalent to approximately one death for
every 7,356 persons. This rate was based on a 2006 through 2008 three-year
average number of deaths equaling 5,140.3 and population count of 37,810,582 as of
Nevada County to 10.2 in Tulare County, a factor of 2.0 to 1.
The age-adjusted death rate from colorectal cancer for California during the 2006
through 2008 three-year period was 14.7 deaths per 100,000 population. Reliable
age-adjusted death rates ranged from 19.4 in Stanislaus County to 10.6 in
San Luis Obispo County.
Eight counties with reliable age-adjusted death rates met the Healthy People 2010
National Objective 3-5 of no more than 13.7 age-adjusted deaths due to colorectal
cancer per 100,000 population. An additional eleven counties with unreliable rates and
one county with no colorectal deaths met the objective. The statewide age-adjusted
death rate for colorectal cancer did not meet the national objective.

he crude death rate from lung cancer for California was 34.7 deaths per 100,000
population, a risk of dying equivalent to approximately one death for every 2,882
persons. This rate was based on the 2006 through 2008 three-year average
Lake County to 26.9 in Imperial County, a factor of 3.3 to 1.
The age-adjusted death rate from lung cancer for California during the 2006 through
2008 three-year period was 38.1 deaths per 100,000 population. Reliable age-adjusted
death rates ranged from 76.8 in Yuba County to 29.5 in Marin County.
Twenty-five counties with reliable age-adjusted death rates and California as a whole
met the Healthy People 2010 National Objective 3-2 of no more than 43.3 age-adjusted
deaths due to lung cancer per 100,000 population. An additional six counties with
unreliable rates and one county with no lung cancer deaths met the objective.

Data Source:
he crude death rate from diabetes for California was 19.5 deaths per 100,000
San Joaquin County to 12.5 in Marin County, a factor of 2.3 to 1.
The age-adjusted death rate from diabetes for California during the 2006 through 2008
three-year period was 21.1 deaths per 100,000 population. Reliable age-adjusted death
rates ranged from 35.2 in San Joaquin County to 9.7 in Marin County.

DEATHS DUE TO CHRONIC LIVER DISEASE AND CIRRHOSIS, 2006-2008
HP 2010 Target: 3.2


Within 3.3 to 10.7
Greater than 10.7
Data Source:
he crude death rate from chronic liver disease and cirrhosis for California was
10.6 deaths per 100,000 population, a risk of dying equivalent to approximately
one death for every 9,437 persons. This rate was based on a 2006 through 2008
three-year average number of deaths equaling 4,006.7 and population count of
37,810,582 as of July 1, 2007. Among counties with reliable rates, the crude rate
ranged from 30.7 in Lake County to 7.8 in Placer County, a factor of 3.9 to 1.
The age-adjusted death rate from chronic liver disease and cirrhosis for California
during the 2006 through 2008 three-year period was 10.7 deaths per 100,000
population. Reliable age-adjusted death rates ranged from 17.1 in Shasta County to
6.7 in Placer County.
One county with no chronic liver disease and cirrhosis deaths met the Healthy People
2010 National Objective 26-2 of no more than 3.2 age-adjusted deaths due to chronic
liver disease and cirrhosis per 100,000 population. The statewide age-adjusted death
rate for chronic liver disease and cirrhosis did not meet the national objective.

DEATHS DUE TO ACCIDENTS (UNINTENTIONAL INJURIES), 2006-2008


Within 17.2 to 29.7
Greater than 29.7
Data Source:
he crude death rate from accidents (unintentional injuries) for California was 29.4
deaths per 100,000 population, a risk of dying equivalent to approximately one
death for every 3,403 persons. This rate was based on a 2006 through 2008
ranged from 78.2 in Lake County to 21.8 in Los Angeles County, a factor of 3.6 to 1.
The age-adjusted death rate from accidents for California during the 2006 through 2008
rates ranged from 74.9 in Humboldt County to 20.4 in Marin County.
No county with a reliable age-adjusted death rate met the Healthy People 2010 National
Objective 15-13 of no more than 17.1 age-adjusted deaths due to accidents per
100,000 population. One county with an unreliable rate and one county with no
accidental deaths met the objective. The statewide age-adjusted death rate for
accidents did not meet the national objective.

Within 8.1 to 10.3
Greater than 10.3
Data Source:
he crude death rate from motor vehicle traffic crashes for California was 10.3
deaths per 100,000 population, a risk of dying equivalent to approximately one
death for every 9,698 persons. This rate was based on a 2006 through 2008
ranged from 22.4 in Madera County to 5.6 in San Mateo County, a factor of 4.0 to 1.
The age-adjusted death rate from motor vehicle traffic crashes for California during
the 2006 through 2008 three-year period was 10.3 deaths per 100,000 population.
Reliable age-adjusted death rates ranged from 23.0 in Madera County to 5.6 in
San Francisco and San Mateo Counties.
Six counties with reliable age-adjusted death rates met the Healthy People 2010
National Objective 15-15a of no more than 8.0 age-adjusted deaths due to motor
vehicle traffic crashes per 100,000 population. An additional three counties with
unreliable rates and one county with no motor vehicle traffic crash deaths met the
objective. The statewide age-adjusted death rate for motor vehicle traffic deaths did not
meet the national objective.

Within 2.9 to 6.3
Greater than 6.3
Data Source:
he crude death rate from homicide for California was 6.4 deaths per 100,000

rates ranged from 10.8 in Alameda County to 2.6 in Orange County.
Two counties with reliable age-adjusted death rates met the Healthy People 2010
National Objective 15-32 of no more than 2.8 age-adjusted deaths due to homicide per
100,000 population. An additional fifteen counties with unreliable rates and five
counties with no homicide deaths met the objective. The statewide age-adjusted death

Within 3.7 to 8.5
Greater than 8.5
Data Source:
he crude death rate from firearm-related injuries for California was 8.6 deaths per
every 11,658 persons. This rate was based on the 2006 through 2008 three-year
Shasta County to 3.8 in Santa Clara County, a factor of 3.8 to 1.
The age-adjusted death rate from firearm-related injuries for California during the
Reliable age-adjusted death rates ranged from 13.8 in Shasta County to 3.8 in
Santa Clara County.
One county with no firearm-related deaths met the Healthy People 2010 National
Objective 15-3 of no more than 3.6 age-adjusted deaths due to firearm-related injuries
per 100,000 population. The statewide age-adjusted death rate for firearm-related
deaths did not meet the national objective.

REPORTED INCIDENCE OF AIDS AMONG POPULATION

AGES 13 YEARS AND OLDER, 2006-2008
HP 2010 Target: 1.0

Crude Case Rate

Within 1.1 to 11.6
Greater than 11.6
Data Source:
CDPH Office of AIDS (OOA).
he crude case rate of reported AIDS cases for Californians aged 13 years and
older were 11.6 cases per 100,000 population or approximately one reported
AIDS case for every 8,638 persons. This rate was based on a 2006 through 2008
three-year average reported number of cases equaling 3,564.7 and population count of
30,791,149 as of July 1, 2007.
Among counties with reliable rates, the crude case rate ranged from 58.7 in
San Francisco County to 3.5 in Ventura County, a factor of 16.8 to 1.
No county with a reliable crude case rate met the Healthy People 2010 National
Objective 13-1 of no more than 1.0 AIDS case per 100,000 population aged 13 years
and older. Two counties with unreliable rates and seven counties with no new AIDS
cases met the objective. The statewide AIDS crude case rate did not meet the
national objective.
Note: Current data are not comparable to prior years as a result of changes in data
collection and methodology.

BLACK INFANT MORTALITY, 2005-2007
HP 2010 Target: 4.5

Infant Death Rate

Within 4.6 to 12.4
Greater than 12.4
Data Source:
he Black birth cohort infant death rate for California was 12.4 deaths per
1,000 live births, a risk of dying equivalent to approximately one infant death for
every 81 births. This rate was based on a 2005 through 2007 three-year average
number of infant deaths equaling 364.0 and 29,451.7 live births.
Among counties with reliable rates, the birth cohort infant death rate for Blacks ranged
from 15.6 in San Bernardino County to 10.6 in San Diego County, a factor of 1.5 to 1.
No county with a reliable infant death rate met the Healthy People 2010 National
Objective 16-1c of no more than 4.5 infant deaths per 1,000 birth cohort live births. Two
counties with unreliable rates and twenty-six counties with no infant deaths met the
objective. The statewide Black infant death rate did not meet the national objective.

Data Source:
CDPH Birth Records.
he percentage of low birthweight infants for California was 6.9 per 100 live births,
a percent equivalent to one in 15 live births. This percentage was based on a
2006 through 2008 three-year average number of low birthweight infants equaling
38,367.7 and 559,936.0 live births.
Among counties with reliable percentages, the percent of low birthweight infants ranged
from 9.4 in Inyo County to 4.5 in Glenn County, a factor of 2.1 to 1.
One county with a reliable percentage met the Healthy People 2010 National Objective
16-10a of reducing the incidence of low birthweight infants to no more than 5.0 percent
of total births. An additional four counties with unreliable percentages met the objective.
The statewide percentage of low birthweight infants did not meet the national objective.

TECHNICAL NOTES
DATA SOURCES
The California Department of Public Health (CDPH), Center for Health Statistics, Office of
Vital Records, was the source for the birth and death data that appear in this report. Data
were tabulated from the Birth and Death Statistical Master Files for the years 2003 through
2008, and from the linked births-deaths in the Birth Cohort-Perinatal Outcome Files for the
years 2002 through 2007, which are based on the Statistical Master Files.
The CDPH, Division of Communicable Disease Control, Sexually Transmitted Diseases
Branch and the Tuberculosis Control Branch, were the sources for the reported case
incidence of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and tuberculosis. The CDPH, Office of AIDS
Surveillance Section provided incidence data of diagnosed AIDS cases. The CDPH,
Center for Family Health, Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health Program prepared the
breastfeeding initiation data utilizing information collected by the Genetic Disease
Screening Program.
The population data are provided on the Internet by the California Department of Finance
(DOF), Demographic Research Unit. Estimates of persons under age 18 in poverty are
from the U.S. Census Bureau at http://www.census.gov//did/www/saipe/. These data have
been updated with the most current estimates available. Population series are referenced
in the table footnotes.
Tables in this report may reflect small undercounts where case data were received late or
vital event data were registered after the cutoff date for creation of the data files.
DATA DEFINITIONS
Mortality (Tables 1-19): Use of the consensus set of health status indicators has been
facilitated by reference to the causes of mortality coded according to the ICD-10.
Beginning with 1999 mortality data, the change to ICD-10 follows a worldwide standard
created by the World Health Organization. Standards for ICD-10 implementation were set
by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).
A small number of non-traffic deaths have previously been reported along with traffic
deaths in prior publication tables titled Deaths Due to Motor Vehicle Crashes. A
non-traffic accident is any vehicle accident that occurs entirely in some place other than a
public highway. An average of 158 non-traffic deaths during 2006 through 2008 was not
included in Table 15, which was re-titled Deaths Due to Motor Vehicle Traffic Crashes.
This change, effective with County Health Status Profiles 2009, aligns the data for direct
comparison with Healthy People 2010 objectives.

Morbidity (Tables 20-23): In general, the case definition of a disease means laboratory
test results, or in their absence, a constellation of clearly specified signs and symptoms that
meet a series of clinical criteria. CDC online case definitions may be found at
URL: http://www.cdc.gov/epo/dphsi/casedef/case_definitions.htm.
Due to incomplete reporting of infectious and communicable diseases by many health care
providers, caution is advised in interpreting morbidity tables. Many factors contribute to the
underreporting of these diseases. These factors include lack of awareness regarding
disease surveillance; lack of follow-up by support staff assigned to report; failure to perform
diagnostic lab tests to confirm or rule out infectious etiology; concern for anonymity of the
client; and expedited treatment in lieu of waiting for laboratory results because of time or
cost constraints. County designation depicts county of residence, except for tuberculosis
which reflects reporting jurisdiction (pages 47, 48, and 78). Although table headings
indicate that the data shown are reported cases, please contact the Division of
Communicable Disease Control and the Office of AIDS for complete morbidity reporting
technical definitions and procedures.
Birth Cohort Infant Mortality (Tables 24A-24E): The infant mortality rate is the number of
deaths among infants under one year of age per 1,000 live births. It is a universally
accepted and easily understood indicator, which represents the overall health status
of a community.
Studies of infant mortality that are based on information from death certificates alone have
been found to underestimate infant death rates for infants of all race/ethnic groups and
especially for certain race/ethnic groups, due to problems such as confusion about event
registration requirements, incomplete data, and transfers of newborns from one facility to
another for medical care. Infant mortality rates in this report are based on linked birth and
infant death records in the Birth Cohort-Perinatal Outcome Files, which generate more
accurate estimates of the total number of infant deaths as well as more accurate
race-specific infant mortality rates. The race used on the race-specific infant mortality
tables is the race of the mother, thus both the numerator and the denominator used for
rate calculations reflect the mothers race only.
As delayed birth and death certificate data are included in the Birth Cohort-Perinatal
Outcome Files after the Birth and Death Statistical Master Files have been closed to further
processing and since hospital follow-back is conducted to resolve questionable cases,
cohort files cannot be as timely as the Statistical Master Files. However, the Birth
Cohort-Perinatal Outcome Files are more nearly complete and accurate.
Race/Ethnicity: Tables 24A-24E align with the 1997 Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) revised minimum standards for collecting, maintaining, and presenting data on race
and ethnicity as described in the 1997 OMB Directive 15, which may be reviewed at
URL: http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/fedreg/ombdir15.html. The mother's Hispanic origin
was determined first, irrespective of race, and then the race categories for the remaining
non-Hispanics were determined. The Hispanic ethnic group includes any race, but is made
up primarily of the White race. The remaining mothers race data were sorted as follows:
two or more race groups (includes any combination of OMB race categories); American
Indian/Alaska Native (includes Aleut, American Indian, and Eskimo); Asian/Pacific Islander
(includes Asian Indian, Asian specified/unspecified, Cambodian, Chinese, Filipino,
Guamanian, Hawaiian, Hmong, Japanese, Korean, Laotian, Samoan, Thai, Vietnamese,
82
and Other Pacific Islander); Black (includes Blacks or African Americans); White (includes
White and Other-specified); and Not Stated and Unknown (includes data for mothers who
declined to state their race or for whom the data were not obtainable for other reasons).
Table 24B Asian/Pacific Islander Infant Mortality rates should not be compared with the
Asian/Other Infant Mortality rates in Profiles reports issued prior to 2005 because these
data now exclude the Aleut, American Indian, and Eskimo statistics previously reported in
this table that could impact rates for these small numbers. In contrast, while Table 24E
White Infant Mortality now excludes data for the Not Stated and Unknown race groups
included in previous reports, the relatively small number of these events in this large group
may not substantially impact a countys rate. American Indian/Alaska Native and Not
Stated/Unknown race groups are not shown independently due to unreliable rates, but are
included in Table 24A Infant Mortality, All Race/Ethnic Groups.
Effective with the 2000 data year, California began collecting up to three races on birth and
death certificates. To permit comparison with race data found in the Birth Cohort-Perinatal
Outcome Files for the 1999 data year and before, which include a single race only for the
mother, first listed race was used in Profiles issued 2003 through 2006. Race/ethnic
groups in Profiles issued since 2007 are compiled using the multi-race (two or more races)
indicator as stated above, thus slight reductions may occur in total numbers previously
reported for single races. Since the two or more races group is currently very small, the
impact of this change should be negligible.
Natality (Tables 25-27B): The natality data were obtained from Birth Statistical Master
Files for 2006 through 2008. Records with specific unknown attributes were excluded from
the total number of live births in developing the following tables: Table 25 excludes
unknown birthweights; Table 27A excludes unknown prenatal care; and Table 27B
excludes unknown adequacy of prenatal care.
Low birthweight has been associated with negative birth outcomes, and may be an
indicator of access problems and/or the need for prenatal care services. Prevalence of low
birthweight is defined as the percentage of live births weighing less than 2,500 grams
(approximately 5.5 pounds). Birth rates to adolescents are an indicator for other high-risk
pregnancy factors. Adolescent birth rate is defined as the number of births to mothers
15 to 19 years of age per 1,000 female population 15 to 19 years of age.
The prenatal care indicator, Month Prenatal Care Began, has been associated with access
to care. Late prenatal care is defined as the percentage of mothers who did not begin
prenatal care in the first trimester. However, the percentage of births in which the mother's
prenatal care began in the first trimester, as a health indicator, does not readily permit an
unambiguous interpretation. According to some researchers, it fails to document whether
or not prenatal care actually continues throughout the pregnancy. Therefore, in addition to
Prenatal Care Not Begun First Trimester of Pregnancy, this Profiles report includes
adequacy of prenatal care based on the Adequacy of Prenatal Care Utilization Index.
In Profiles reports published in 1995 through 1998, the Kessner Index was used
to measure the adequacy of prenatal care. The Kessner Index was replaced in the
1999 report by the Adequacy of Prenatal Care Utilization Index, which is the methodology
specified in HP 2010 Objectives.
83
The Adequacy of Prenatal Care Utilization Index developed by Milton Kotelchuck attempts
to characterize prenatal care utilization in two independent and distinctive dimensions:
adequacy of prenatal care initiation and services received (once prenatal care has begun).
The initial dimension, adequacy of prenatal care initiation, characterizes the month prenatal
care began and its timeliness. The second dimension, adequacy of received services,
characterizes the number of prenatal care visits received from the time the mother began
prenatal care until delivery. The adequacy of prenatal visits is based on the
recommendations established by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
These two dimensions are then combined into a single summary prenatal care utilization
index, which contains the following five categories for adequacy of prenatal care:
(1) Adequate Plus: Prenatal care begun by the fourth month and 110 percent or more
of the recommended visits received.
(2) Adequate: Prenatal care begun by the fourth month and 80 to 109 percent of the
recommended visits received.
(3) Intermediate: Prenatal care begun by the fourth month and 50 to 79 percent of the
recommended visits received.
(4) Inadequate: Prenatal care begun after the fourth month, or less than 50 percent of
the recommended visits received.
(5) Missing Information: Unknown adequacy of prenatal care.
Only adequate and adequate plus prenatal care is used in Table 27B to measure the
adequacy of prenatal care utilization. Also, please note the two-factor index does not
assess the quality of the prenatal care that was delivered, but simply its utilization. For
further information on the Adequacy of Prenatal Care Utilization Index, see the "American
Journal of Public Health" article by Kotelchuck listed in the bibliography.
Breastfeeding Initiation During Early Postpartum (Table 28): Extensive research
demonstrates the diverse and compelling advantages to infants, mothers, families, and
society from breastfeeding and the use of human milk for infant feeding. Breastfeeding
provides advantages with regard to the general health, growth, and development of infants,
while significantly decreasing their risk for a large number of acute and chronic diseases.
There are also a number of studies that indicate possible health benefits for mothers such
as less postpartum bleeding, rapid uterine involution, and reduced risk of ovarian cancer
and post-menopausal breast cancer. In addition to individual health benefits, breastfeeding
provides significant social and economic benefits to the nation, including reduced health
care costs and reduced employee absenteeism for care attributable to child illness.
Breastfeeding initiation data presented in this report were obtained from the Center for
Family Health, Genetic Disease Screening Program, Newborn Screening Data with
analyses by the Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health Program. All nonmilitary hospitals
providing maternity services are required to complete the Newborn Screening Test Form
prior to an infants discharge. Analyses are limited to cases reported on the Newborn
Screening Test Form Version NBS-I(C)(6/07). To complete the form, staff must select all
applicable classes from the following five categories to describe all nutrition since birth (per
chart review): (1) Human Milk, (2) Formula, (3) Fortifier, (4) TPN/Hyperal, and (5) IV Fluid.
The numerator for breastfeeding initiation data presented in Table 28 includes records
marked as either Human Milk or Human Milk and Formula.
84
The denominator excludes cases with unknown method of feeding (not reported) and cases
marked as TPN/Hyperal,Fortifier and/or IV Fluid alone or in combination with Human
Milk and/or Formula.
Please Note: The 2008 analyses exclude data for infants that were in a Neonatal Intensive
Care Unit (NICU) nursery at the time of specimen collection and should not be compared to
data reported in previous County Health Status Profiles Reports or data currently posted
(2000-2007) to the Breastfeeding Statistics web-site.
Caution should be taken when analyzing breastfeeding initiation data alone because
breastfeeding duration is not taken into consideration. Examination of breastfeeding
initiation data along with duration data is recommended to thoroughly measure the effects
of breastfeeding. Breastfeeding duration data are not presented in this report because
county level duration data are not available.
Childhood Poverty (Table 29): Children under the age of 18 living in families with income
at or below the poverty level define the category of population under 18 in poverty. The
percent of children under 18 in this category is an indicator of global risk factors that have
implications for accessibility to health services.
CRUDE RATES AND AGE-ADJUSTED RATES
The numerator data used to compute mortality rates and percentages were three-year
averages compiled by county of residence of the decedent; mothers county of residence
for birth data (including linked birth-death data for infant mortality); and county of residence
for morbidity data, except for Tuberculosis, which was compiled by reporting jurisdiction.
Three-year averages tend to reduce the year-to-year fluctuations and increase the stability
of estimates.
A non-standardized rate (or "crude rate") is calculated by dividing the total number of
events (e.g., deaths) by the total population at risk, then multiplying by a base
(e.g., 100,000). Sub-populations such as counties with varying age compositions can have
highly disparate crude death rates, since the risk of dying is primarily a function of age.
Therefore, counties with a large component of elderly experience a higher death rate. The
effect of different age compositions among counties or other demographic groups can be
removed from the death rates by the age-adjustment process. This produces
age-adjusted rates that permit comparisons among geographic and demographic groups
and that are directly comparable with those HP 2010 National Objectives that are
expressed as age-adjusted rates.
Age-adjusted death rates are hypothetical rates obtained by calculating age-specific rates
for each county and multiplying these rates by proportions of the same age categories in
a "standard population," then summing the apportioned specific rates to a county total. The
"standard population" used in the age-adjusted rates in this report is the
2000 U.S. Standard Population. The age-adjusted rates put all counties on the same
footing with respect to the effect of age and permit direct comparisons among counties. It
is important to understand that age-adjusted death rates should be viewed as constructs or
index numbers rather than as actual measures of the risk of mortality. Crude death rates,
which include the effect of age, are the rates that should be applied when measuring the
actual risk of dying in a specific population. For further information on age-adjusted rates,
85
see the NCHS report by Curtin and Klein on "Direct Standardization," listed in the
bibliography. Data for the morbidity tables were not age-adjusted due to the unavailability of
the morbidity data by age. Hence, only crude case rates were calculated. Although age
and aging do affect morbidity, the effect is not as prominent as their impact on mortality.
Birth cohort infant death rates are not age-adjusted. Since the deaths are linked to the
births on a record-by-record basis, these rates are based on a numerator (deaths) and
a denominator (births) from the same record. Birth cohort comparisons among counties
reflect the actual risk of dying within one year of birth, and concurrently, are unaffected by
confounding age compositions because the cohorts represent the same age group
(under one year).
RELIABILITY OF RATES
All vital statistics rates and morbidity rates are subject to random variation. This variation is
inversely related to the number of events (e.g., deaths) used in calculating the rate. Small
frequencies in the occurrence of events produce a greater likelihood that random
fluctuations will be found within a specified time period. Rare events are relatively less
stable in their occurrence from observation to observation.
As a consequence, counties with only a few deaths, or a few cases of morbidity, can have
highly unstable rates from year to year. The observation of zero events is especially
hazardous, regardless of the population size. This report reduces some year-to-year
fluctuation in the occurrence of rare events by basing rates on three-year average numbers
of events (e.g., 2006-2008), divided by the population in the middle year (e.g., 2007).
The "standard error" of a rate and "coefficient of variation" (or relative standard error)
provide a rational basis for determining which rates may be considered unreliable.
Conforming to NCHS standards, rates and percentages with a relative standard error
greater than or equal to 23 percent of the rate or percent are considered unreliable and are
marked with an asterisk (*). When rates, percentages, and confidence limits are not
calculated due to zero events, they are shown as dashes (-). The 95 percent confidence
limits depict the region within which the rate would probably occur in 95 of 100 sets of data
(if data similar to the present set were independently acquired on 100 separate occasions).
In five of those 100 data sets, the rate or percent would fall outside the limits. For
appropriate statistical methodologies in comparing independent rates or percentages,
please see the NCHS reports listed in the bibliography by Curtin and Klein on Direct
Standardization and by Kleinman on Infant Mortality.
RANKING OF COUNTIES
Data for each health indicator, except prenatal care adequacy (Table 27B) and incidence of
breastfeeding (Table 28) are displayed with the counties in rank order by increasing rates
or percentages (calculated to 15 decimal places). The county with the lowest rate or
percentage is in the first rank while the county owning the highest rate or percentage is in
the fifty-eighth rank. Data for adequacy of prenatal care and incidence of breastfeeding are
displayed with the counties in rank order by decreasing percentages (calculated to 15
decimal places). A county possessing the highest percentage is in the first rank and the
county with the lowest percentage is in the fifty-eighth rank. For all health indicators,
counties with identical rates or percentages are ranked first by largest population or number
of births, thus larger counties may appear ahead of smaller counties.
86
COMPARISON OF RATES AND PERCENTAGES (TABLE 30)

Rates and percentages have been calculated for one prior period, which facilitates
comparison between the earlier period, and the current reported statistics for selected
health indicators. Readers are cautioned that measuring progress toward target attainment
for a HP 2010 objective using only one data point is not recommended. In monitoring
progress toward achieving the objective target rate, HP 2010 guidelines recommend
using absolute differences between the target rate, the most recent data point, and a
progress quotient. HP 2010 guidelines for measuring objectives are online at
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/hphome.htm.
THEMATIC MAPS
ArcGIS, version 9.3, ArcMap software was used to create the thematic maps. Mapped
data were derived from the rates/percentages displayed in the column to the immediate left
of the 95 percent confidence intervals in the adjacent table. Counties with unreliable rates
or percentages (relative standard error greater than or equal to 23 percent) or zero events
are shown with an overlay of diagonal dashes.
The mapping methodology strives to illustrate rates/percentages for each indicator in a
way that highlights a countys status in meeting the HP 2010 Objective target, if one exists,
and in comparison with the California rate. For example, a typical map for an indicator with
a HP 2010 Objective displays counties that achieved the target in the lightest shade,
counties with a rate between the California rate and the target in the medium shade, and
counties with a rate above the California rate in the darkest shade (see the Colorectal
Cancer map and table on pages 7 and 8).
Rates/percentages for health indicators without established HP 2010 Objectives, or with
HP 2010 data collection criteria that California was unable to meet, are mapped according
to counties with rates/percentages at or below the California rate/percentage with the
remaining counties above Californias rate/percentage divided into two groups based on a
calculated fiftieth percentile of the rates/percentages among those counties.
Asian/Pacific Islander infant mortality race group rates (pages 51 and 52) are arrayed by
counties and California as a whole having rates at or below the HP 2010 target rate with the
remaining counties divided into two groups based on the 50th percentile for rates above the
HP 2010 target rate.

PROCEDURE FOR CALCULATING AGE-ADJUSTED RATES

BY THE DIRECT METHOD
Age-adjusted rates calculated in this report follow the procedure that was used to set the
HP 2010 National Objectives. The standard population was the year 2000 U.S. population.
The data in the following example were extracted from Table 1: Deaths Due to All Causes,

STEP 1:
Array the data of three-year average number of deaths and population for 11 age groups in
columns A and B.
STEP 2:
Calculate age-specific rates by dividing the number of deaths in column A (numerator) by the
population in column B (denominator). Multiply the result (quotient) by the base of 100,000 to
obtain the rates in column C.
STEP 3:
Multiply each age-specific rate in column C by the corresponding 2000 U.S. Standard Population
proportion in column D and enter the result in column E.
STEP 4:
The values for each age group in column E are summed to obtain the Age-Adjusted Death Rate
for Alameda County of 641.7 per 100,000 population.
STEP 5:
Repeat Steps 1 through 4 for each county and the statewide total. Note that the
2000 U.S. Standard Population proportions remain the same for each county and the state.
STEP 6:
Direct comparisons can now be made among the counties, with the removal of the effect that
varying county age compositions may have on death rates.

Healthy People 2010 (HP 2010) National Objective has not been established.
National Objective is based on both underlying and contributing cause of death which requires use of multiple cause of death files. California's data exclude multiple/contributing causes of death.
National rate is not comparable to California due to rate calculation methods.
Prevalence data were not available in all California counties to evaluate HP 2010 National Objective of no more than 3 percent testing positive in the population aged 15 to 24 years.
Data do not meet the criteria for statistical reliability, data quality, or confidentiality. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP) website at http://wonder.cdc.gov/data2010/. Accessed March 2010.

Crude death rates, crude case rates, and age-adjusted death rates are per 100,000 population. Birth cohort infant death rates are per 1,000 live births. Age-specific birth rates are per 1,000 population.
AIDS and Breastfeeding data are not comparable to prior years publication as a result of changes in data collection and methodology.
